I bought one of these from a seller in California as wanted to be able to do some limited transfers/updating on my work laptop, but when I plug it in twice now it freezes my player and I have to go through rebuild. I will not try it a third time unless someone has any advice. Thanks in advance !grr

So what is the question? I would shy away from EBay cables like those. They have been known to cause issues. Try searching for the cable you need on Google to find a few reputable places that sells them.
